Feature Add
Description:
It's now possible to print out characters as actual characters
instead of their decimal equivalent numbers. It's the same thing that
h5ls does. The flag to do this is "--string" or "-r".
Platforms tested:
Verbena (Fortran & C++)
Arabica (Fortran)
Modi4 (Fortran & Parallel)
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
"$@" was used to represent all argument provided. This has the
unfortunate effect as one argument of "" when actually no argument
was given. Some machines throw the "" away but some like Tflops
and Alpha Q, retains them as a single argument of "". This caused
the no filename given test to fail.
Solution:
Replaced "$@" with a plain $@.
Platforms tested:
h5committested
Misc. update:
Add a little more comments on where to put DLL.
Description:
User can put HDF5DLL in the place where the application can find.
It doesn't have to be at system directory.
Solution:
Add comments to "only suggest the user to use system directory".
Platforms tested:
text file, no need to be tested.
Misc. update:
Update stdio driver supported on windows
Description:
To tell users how to set and use stdio driver.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
Text file doesn't have to be tested.
Misc. update:
A bug fix for windows.
Description:
Many tests failed on windows when stdio driver is on.
I suspect it is the compiler bug.
After some investigation, the symptom is:
The signature of HDF5 file cannot be found.
The real problem is the signature was appended at the end of the whole
file instead of inserting at the starting of the file.
It seems when the file pointer(signature) is reset to the starting of the file,
windows mis-placed it to the end of the file after finding the file is close to
the end.
Solution:
Fortuately, ftell and fseek still function well on windows,
so I use ftell and fseek to force the file pointer to go to the position it is supposed
to go.
Platforms tested:
since the only change in this file is within ifdef WIN32 macro; it won't
affect the mainstream platforms, so I don't have to three platforms.
Platforms to confirm(test with basic function): Linux 2.4
Platforms to throughly test: windows 2000 with VS6.0
test on three different
Misc. update:
removed and change comments
Description:
removed the modification comment about the while loop, it is not sufficiently important to be there
changed the "Id to name" comment in the test description, it was incorrecly about other thing
Solution:
Platforms tested:
none , just comments
Misc. update:
Purpose: Windows maintenance
Description: New C tests were never added to the Fortran Work Space.
Solution: Added new C tests to the Fortran Work Space
Platforms tested: Windows
Static tests pass, DLL fails. Sigh...
Misc. update:
Purpose: Windows maintenance and code cleanup
Description: There were a lot of places in the source code where varibale
was declared but never used.
Solution: Cleaned the source code to avoid warnings on Windows and Unix
platforms.
Platforms tested: arabica, modi4, Windows
Probably my environment is wrong on Linux, cannot
compile at all when fortran is enabled
If daily tests fails tomorrow, this will be my fault
but I want to go home now :-)
Misc. update:
Purpose: Windows maintenance and code cleanup
Description: There were a lot of places in the source code where varibale
was declared but never used.
Solution: Cleaned the source code to avoid warnings on Windows adn Unix
platforms.
Platforms tested: arabica, modi4, Windows
Probably my environment is wrong on Linux, cannot
compile at all when fortran is enabled
If daily tests fails tomorrow, this will be my fault
but I want to go home now :-)
Misc. update:
added more tests, described in the test matrix
Description:
test -r
test -l
expanded -d, -p and -n tests
test different types to include links and named types
test for non supported classes, e.g bitfield, opaque , etc
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (rockaway)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
IRIX 6.5 (modi4)
Misc. update:
Minor improvement
Description:
Moved the H5FD_mpio_Debug initialization to H5FD_mpio_init() so
that it is done only once instead of every file open.
Fixed blocked out patch that checks on INFO object so that
H5FD_mpio_Debug can be set via the INFO object.
(All these had been done to v1.4, now folded them int v1.5)
Platforms tested:
Did not h5committest since this is purely parallel code.
The changes were made in an isolated copy in Copper.
Tested in Copper parallel.
Misc. update:
Bug Fix
Description:
The compression stuff includes the "zlib.h" header file. This
file on the SP machine was including another file which would
#define const as nothing if the compiler wasn't a Standard C
compiler.
Solution:
Included a flag to make the compiler into an ANSI compiler.
Platforms tested:
Blue (Only affects powerPC computers)
Misc. update:
Purpose:
Code cleanup
Description:
Removed debug statement bracketed by H5FDmpiposix_DEBUG or alike.
They were added in by mistakes.
Platforms tested:
Did not h5committested but tested in Copper since there changes are
limited in parallel codes.
Misc. update:
Bug Fix
Description:
If there was a header file with a path like:
/some/path/mpich.optimized/...
The dependencies script would change that to
/some/path/mpich.loptimized/...
^--Note.
Solution:
Mike McKay offered the solution to replace the substitution script
from "s/\.o/\.lo/g" to "s/\.o(\b)/\.lo$1/g". It doesn't crash when
run on Linux, but we need to make sure that it's okay for his
machine.
Platforms tested:
Linux, since this script is only run on GNU platforms.
Misc. update:
Improvment
Description:
No default setting of fortran compiler when --enable-parallel is
used.
Solution:
Changed it to use mpxlf_r as the default parallel fortran compiler.
This is consistent with the default C compilers.
Platforms tested:
Did not h5committested because the changes were made offsite.
Tested in LLNL SP BLUE, both serial and parallel modes.
(There is a compiling error in src but the configure result are
verified.)
Misc. update:
Update MANIFEST if you add or remove any file.
Update release_docs/RELEASE for bug fixes, new features, etc.
Update applicable document files too.
bug fix
Description:
The default of CC used to be gcc which is not compatible with the
default fortran compiler of xlf.
Solution:
Copied the CC default setting from the C-API level.
Platforms tested:
Run test in Copper since this is a purely AIX change.
Misc. update:
Purpose: Bug fix
Description: on Cray T90IEEE compact storage test (in test_misc8)
fails since dataset dimensions are too big; dataset
will not fit into the message header.
Solution: Reduced dimension sizes from 100 to 50.
Platforms tested: h5committested on arabica and mod4; verbena failed
because of the F90 license problem. I tested on verbena
by hand and C only; Cray T90IEEE
Misc. update:
Purpose: Verify library behavior
Description: A file is first opened as read only. Then it's closed with
an object left open. A second open of the same file for read and
write should fail.
Platforms tested: arabica - simply test to verify correct library behavior.
feature
Description:
added test_fapl_mpiposix_dup to verify the MPIPOSIX is making
duplicates of Communicator correctly.
Platforms tested:
Did not h5committested because these are all MPI code and well protected
by HAVE_PARALLEL.
Tested in eirene and modi4, both parallel mode.
Misc. update:
Feature
Description:
Added the feature to store and return a duplicate of Communicator in
the access of property list and file operations. (no duplicate for
INFO object because MPIPOSIX driver does not process INFO object.
Platforms tested:
Did not h5committested because these are all MPI code and well protected
by HAVE_PARALLEL.
Tested in eirene and modi4, both parallel mode.
Misc. update:
Code cleanup
Description:
Replaced the comm/info freeing with H5FD_mpio_comm_info_free to make
it cleaner and consistent.
Replaced couple FUNC_LEAVE_NOAPI(SUCCEED) with FUNC_LEAVE_NOAPI(ret_value).
These were bugs since it was possible errors may occur at FUNC_ENTER...()
time and this hardcoding would not report those errors.
Documented some modification history.
Platforms tested:
Did not h5committested because these are all MPI code and well protected
by HAVE_PARALLEL.
Tested in eirene and modi4, both parallel mode.
Misc. update:
Code cleanup
Description:
Remove some cruft left over from the switch from int->H5G_obj_t
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir), triple check not necessary.
Code cleanup
Description:
Christi Forsythe reported that the NGROUPS macro in this file was causing
a macro redefinition warning on the QT machine.
Solution:
Rename NGROUPS to UNLINK_NGROUPS
Platforms tested:
Eyeballed, too trivial for triple check.
Update
Description:
The H5FC was already in this doc...but under "bug fixes". Removed
that since it's really a new feature.
Platforms tested:
IBM/PC Jr.
Misc. update:
Bug Fix
Description:
In parallel mode, the MPI libraries were being added to the LDFLAGS
variable instead of the LIBS variable. This was playing havoc with
the h5fc script (the order you specify libraries is important to some
compilers).
Solution:
The AC_CHECK_FLIB macro was placing these libraries into the LDFLAGS
instead of LIBS, which is where they should have gone. Replaced
LDFLAGS with LIBS in that case.
Platforms tested:
Modi4 (Parallel & Fortran)
Arabica (Fortran)
Verbena (Fortran, no C++ since it's not affected)
Ran "make check-install" after installation...
Misc. update:
Bug Fix
Description:
On Kelgia, building of the Fortran stuff would fail because of a bad
commandline. A "" was being put into it.
Solution:
I was stupid and put quotes around a variable in the commence.in file
when I shouldn't have. Removed those quotes.
Platforms tested:
Kelgia (Fortran)
Verbena (Fortran, no C++ since Fortran only)
Arabica (Fortran)
Modi4 (Fortran & Parallel)
Misc. update:
Bug Fix
Description:
When going to compile on a platform (like HP-UX) which doesn't have
libz.a in it's path, the script would fail. The reason was that the
LDFLAGS variable which holds the directories to these libraries was
last in the compile line. So the compiler couldn't find the library
Solution:
Put the LDFLAGS variable before the linker variables.
Platforms tested:
Kelgia (Fortran)
Verbena (Fortran, no C++ since only Fortran affected)
Arabica (Fortran)
Modi4 (Fortran & Parallel)
Also ran "make check-install"
Misc. update:
Purpose: A little code rewriting
Description: object types were defined as macros in H5Gpublic.h
Solution: changed them to enumerate type
Platforms tested: h5committtest
code cleanup.
Description:
Rename test_comm_info_delete to test_fapl_mpio_dup to better decribe
what it does. Updated the comments to describe more accurate.
Platforms tested:
Did not run h5commmittest since the changes were all in parallel area.
Ran parallel tests on modi4 and eirene.
Misc. update:
simple code cleanup.
Description:
While debug a problem in multiple_group_write(), noticed some returned
values were not checked. Added code to check on all returned code.
Platforms tested:
h5committested.
Misc. update:
Bug Fix
Description:
H5FC was failing on Copper (IBM P690). The reason: the xlf compiler
needs files to end in .f in stead of .f90. If you have .f90 files,
you need the "-qsuffix=f=f90" flag defined. This was defined for
compiling things via the "-c" option (to object files) but not for
straight compilation of a file.
I also noticed that the directory modules were being extracted from
was "." and "../src". H5FC would find these alright when doing a
"make check-install" but if Suzie User were to try this, it might
fail for her. Suzie would have to specify explicitly where to grab
these files.
Solution:
The solution to the problem was a bit more involved. I added a new
variable called "F9XSUFFIXFLAG" which is set to this value if the
machine needs it.
Added new variable called "FSEARCH_DIRS" which can be set to the
directories to find modules during compilation. The H5FC script knows
where to find the correct modules (it's in the lib/ directory), so it
uses the F9XMODFLAG to find them and not the FSEARCH_DIRS flag.
Platforms tested:
Modi4 (Fortran & Parallel)
Verbena (Fortran) C++ not needed since this is Fortran-only fix
Arabica (Fortran)
Copper (Fortran)
Ran "make install" and "make check-install" afterwards...
Misc. update:
Code cleanup
Description:
Add & improve assertion that was removed in last commit, to check for
compact dataset storage.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir)
triple check not necessary.
update
Description:
Added h5fc to the h5tools list.
Added feature that it will udpate tools that are present.
(Would still abort if no tools found at all.)
Platforms tested:
Did not h5committest since it does not test this tool at all.
Did various test in eirene by hand.
Misc. update:
Update
Description:
Ran "autoheader" to gather some of the added #defines that were
included in the configure.in file over the months...
Platforms tested:
Arabica & Baldric (Fortran)
Modi4 (Parallel & Fortran)
Verbena (C++ & Fortran)
All with --enable-stream-vfd and doing a "make check-install".
Misc. update:
Bug Fix
Description:
The h5fc script couldn't find the correct libraries needed when it
was used on Solaris and the --enable-stream-vfd was enabled.
Solution:
Added checks for the -lnsl and -lsocket libraries if we're on Solaris
or HP-UX.
Platforms tested:
Arabica & Baldric (Fortran)
Modi4 (Parallel & Fortran)
Verbena (C++ & Fortran)
All with --enable-stream-vfd and doing a "make check-install".
Misc. update:
Bug fix and feature
Description:
The patch to Makefile.in failed if an empty directory of fortran/examples
was left behind by a previous build.
Solution:
Attempted to put it in config/conclude.in just became a mess since
it is hard to predict when we will include examples in the subdirs
or not.
Borrow the structure of install-examples and do some handcode per
interface. The Makefile.in of each interface (C, Fortran, C++)
controls everything. Not very systematic but pretty clean for this
case.
Platforms tested:
h5committested.
Also tested in modi4 with various combinations of fortran, c++
enabled.
Misc. update:
